    I have, at long last, managed to sort, shove in the attic where appropriate, rehome, ditch, recycle, charity shop, Amazon, Gumtree, in short, generally deal with the accumulation of 10 years household-dumping-ground gibble in my office. It's taken months, and the final push over the past 10 days has been so demoralising I've had to do it in 15 minute bursts interspersed with 45 minutes of anything but Flying, but IT'S DONE! :j Cleaning the place will be a pleasure after all of that.

    I feel 10 stone lighter!
    Better is good enough.

    Thanks for your messages DH is home now. His heart was going too fast. x
  • Wow - well done Honey Bear - that is impressive - I really need to get into my office PROPERLY but it's gonna have to be baby steps as it is just so demoralising in there right now.

    I started HHI/Clothes sort at 11.30, and simply haven't stopped. The WM has been on twice since then and it's all out on the line - loving the weather!!!!!!. Decided today has been an upstairs day and my next day off on Thursday will be a downstairs day as I'm working tonight. Time to chillax for a wee while before I do the school run.

    Hope you are all doing well

    Sorry I didn't post earlier. DH spent the morning yesterday in reasuss then was moved to an assessment unit. He was going to see the cardiologist and go to a ward. I got chucked out very rudely told to go back for visiting. DH then rang me to say they were sending him home as there were no beds.
    He hasn't been very well today but I think he is scared from yesterday.

    Basics only done

    It's great having a four-legged guest, isn't it?:o What sort is Poppy?

    Honey Bear well done on de-gibbling the office. That's a good job jobbed.;)

    I've just had the dogs outside for a good run round in the garden; they've brought two tennis balls with them, so we've had a game and decluttered some excess energy. I've also given them both a good brush and got enough loose fur to stuff a small cushion!:eek: I can see Mr Dys0n doing overtime this week.;) And Bailey thinks the Wii Fit balance board when I'm using it is for him to put his toys on in the hope that I'll play with him.:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Dancemum wishing DH a speedy recovery

    Honey bear - well done
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair
  • Dancemum glad to hear your OH is home.
    Honeybear well done. :T

    I haven't done much flying today but DD is off tomorrow and we've no clubs tonight so hopefully won't take long to finish the lists.

    Lucky is due in at the vet at 5.30pm, KD's auntie passed away at noon and KD is being released tomorrow.

    Right i better get something done before we head out.
